Ethics and International Affairs
By: Jean Marc Coicaud and Daniel Warner
To introduce what is at stake in ethics and contemporary international affairs requires us to focus on three sets of issues. First, since nowhere in the rest of the book is ethics de®ned and discussed in general terms, a few thoughts are needed to clarify what is meant in a broad sense. Second, the authors will reflect upon some of the major elements shaping the interplay between ethics and contemporary international affairs. Touching upon these two sets of issues will lay the ground for the examination, throughout the book, of the ethical dimensions of the current international context. Finally, this chapter will offer a brief overview of the main themes addressed and areas covered by the authors. Ethics is concerned with being as close as possible to realizing the idea, the positive idea, of what it is to be a human being. It is about approaching as closely as possible a sense of what is essentially human in our nature. In thinking and acting in an ethical manner. [download]
